Around 11:30 on the evening of July 8th, Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse, in a release, said a Sheriffs' deputy conducted a traffic stop on a 2009 Lexus for multiple alleged traffic violations near U.S. 75 Highway and 214th Road.

The driver of the vehicle, 54-year-old Jermaine Hinnant, and his passenger, 58-year-old Viola Praylow, both of Topeka, were arrested after a probable cause was established to search their vehicle, resulting in the discovery of illegal drugs and narcotics.

Hinnant was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol, no ignition interlock device when required, driving while suspended, driving with expired registration, operating a motor vehicle with no insurance, possession of a hallucinogenic drug and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Praylow was arrested for felony interference with law enforcement, possession of crack/cocaine, possession of a hallucinogenic drug, possession of drug paraphernalia and transporting an open container. She was also arrested on two felony warrants, one from Shawnee County and the other from Douglas County.

Following their arrest, the pair were booked into the Jackson County Jail.

Then shortly before 9:00 on the morning of July 9th, Morse said a Sheriff's deputy initiated a traffic stop near U.S. Highway 75 and K-214 Highway.

As a result of the traffic stop, 38-year-old Justin Burghart was arrested for possession of cocaine, possession of a hallucinogenic drug, possession of drug paraphernalia, interference with law enforcement, driving while suspended, registration unlawful acts, no insurance and transporting an open container.
